Federico Kalinec, a retired UCLA professor, has survived 14 years with a rare form of pancreatic cancer known as pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET), which was also the cause of death for Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in 2011. Initially given just a few months to live upon his diagnosis in 2012, Kalinec underwent surgery that included the removal of his pancreas and part of his stomach. The disease went into remission but returned in 2020, at which point he began treatment with a new medication approved by the FDA in 2018 for gastric and pancreatic tumors. This drug provided an additional option for patients suffering from rare cancers like PNET, estimated to affect one person out of every 27,000 annually.
